Why Not Pay Higher Taxes? →
The usual liberal complaint against the conservative opposition to higher income taxes is greed and the better-offs’ self-serving reluctance to pay their “fair share.” But while perhaps true in some instances, I don’t think that is an accurate writ against most of those in that now demonized $200,000 and above categories who resent forking over more. Rather, here are a random 12 complaints that I hear from those who become furious about preposed higher income tax rates:
- The Entire Bite
- Inequality?
- Wise Spending?
- Always More Spending?
- Less Efficiency?
- Inequality by Income?
- Psychological
- Sic Transit Gloria
- The Private HHS Department
- The Technocratic Class
- Politics
- Technology
Worth reading. This certainly explains a lot of my own resistance to higher taxes: for me or for others.
